How this list is made

I pulled this from Devpost, Unstop, Devfolio and MLH with a small scraper I built (Hackathon Radar on Apify): https://apify.com/kineticforge/hackathon-radar. It found 255 open hackathons this week. If you want the full list as a spreadsheet, or only new hackathons each day, you can run it yourself with filters for prize, keyword and country.
